Abstract (en)

A video signal hard copying apparatus for printing on a copying sheet of paper input color video signals including R, G, B signals, and horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals as a color image signal includes D/A converter means for generating reference voltages each changing stepwise, comparator means for comparing the color image signal with the reference voltages to provide digital signal patters composed of logical "0s" and/or logical "1s" indicative of the state of the color image signal, and memory means for temporarily storing the digital signal patterns for latter associated processings. An automatic setting apparatus for generating a video signal sampling clock in the video signal hard copying apparatus includes display means for displaying marks thereon separated by a predetermined drawn distance, memory means for storing the predetermined drawn data, storage state judging and adjusting menas for judging whether or not the drawn distance is stored at a correct location in the memory means which location is estimated by the storage state judging and adjusting means itself, and further outputting a frequency dividing ratio setting signal, and frequency multiplier means for generating a sampling clock for sampling the input video signal, the sampling clock being employed for the foregoing judgement by the storage state judging and adjusting means until a correct sampling clock is established.
